Jonzo Bandwagoner Poems

Never grow old, kid, never change.
Years from now we’ll revisit you
In thoughts and dreams; we love
You for your smile, your spring,
...

I remember, as a child,
She would stir our lemonade;
He would sit and tell us jokes,
Then hide our easter eggs.
...

Existence.
The ‘I’ is who I am,
But flesh is all you see.
Does my name define me?
...

The bitter smattering, the cold, stagnant icicles
Of the iron birds, their rigid wings
Descend like anathema
Upon our sun-caked heads,
...

Somewhere now –
They’re hiding in ambush.
Forget the sun—
They’re waiting for you.
...

You grasp my hand
For a balancing act,
I fear of losing your touch,
Your gaze.
...

We talk together,
My smile, your eyes,
We eye our smiles,
My eyes on your eyes,
...

Years ago we played together,
Two cousins with life and smiles.
Roller coasters, we were six,
And the world was ours to explore.
...

Behold our world is a world of gray,
Broken apart and scattered away.
All who are actors, act in this play;
This theater of nothingness.
...

I hate the fact I'm feeling
All this endless sickly dreaming
The rush, rush, rush
Of make-believing,
...
